Greenfield New Build

Keen Project Solutions served as the construction partner for a new greenfield branch developed for Premier Credit Union. The facility was designed to enhance member access and operational efficiency and includes a drive-through canopy with ITMs, interior ITMs, an entry lobby, conference space, employee break areas and individual offices.

The project was delivered through a selective hard bid process that incorporated contractor interviews, allowing the client to evaluate overall value and approach rather than relying solely on low price. Keen was selected based on a client-focused mindset and the ability to deliver cost-effective solutions while maintaining quality and flexibility.

The client’s objective was to establish a long-term building partner capable of supporting this branch and future locations through continuous improvement and cost control. Keen aligned with this goal by maintaining open communication, evaluating design and construction efficiencies, and proactively addressing challenges.

During construction, an unforeseen coordination issue with utilities threatened the schedule. Through creative problem-solving and proactive coordination, Keen minimized delays and achieved the contractual certificate of occupancy date, preventing additional costs and allowing the client to occupy and operate the facility on time. Keen identified a site grading concern and recommended raising the building pad to promote positive drainage, enhancing the long-term performance of the facility.
